    you have to use oAuth with Twitter just like with Facebook. Register your twitter app and you will get your keys. Then look up their APIs to see how to establish the connection.

    One of the best AS3 libraries for Twitter is Tweetr. http://wiki.swfjunkie.com/tweetr…

    Facebook AS3 Library is done by Adobe and Facebook and is far more advanced but Tweetr will do just fine.

    Keep in mind that if you need mentions or posts (if the user has his feed public) you really don't need to connect to Twitter/use their API or oAuth. You can just do a standard search call like this:

    Mentions example:
    "http://search.twitter.com/searc...

    It will return the feed to you in JSON format. You can then use native JSON parser in Flash 11 to parse data into what you need. You don't need to use as3corelib anymore.
